Overheating and slow start? I got the white unit and I love it. The problem I have is that gets warm pretty quick and seems to take a long time to wake up. Any ideas? I would appreciate it, thanks.

Thanks Daisy for your comment. After dealing with having to take the battery out to "unfreeze" and to wake it up, which as you can imagine, is a heck of an inconvenience when you just want to make a call, I sent it back. Will keep searching.

Beatritz: You probaly received a defective phone. My GNote does run a tiny bit hotter than other smartphones do, however, the hottest it ever ran was 85 degrees F. (It usually is below 60 degrees F or lower). The GNote just gets a little hotter I think because the battery is so HUGE.Hope you find the perfect phone for you.If anyone wants to add to this discussion, please feel free to do so.Regards,Daisy S

Thanks again Daisy. Getting hot was just one of the problems with Note. I always needed to wake it up from a deep sleep, which took a long time, that, plus needing to scan the media card completely until you could make a call, sometimes it would just get stuck, going nowhere, and I needed to take the battery out to make it go. It became too much trouble just to make a call.

it took a while, sorry I can't really remember, several days I think; then even once after it had been off for a couple days. for me the bigger issue is the lack of heat compared to the older model.

I have not had any problems with it. The main suggestion is to be sure that the unit is pushed to the "off" position before laying it down after you have finished with it. Like anything else, left unattended it could burn someone or something, especially while still hot. Listen for the "hiss"--no sound, it is usually off. When in doubt, remove the thermal unit. It's great not being restricted to using an outlet.

I've had mine since November, the only issue i have with mine is that one of the smaller fans sticks/freezes on start up. With a small "bump" it works fine. Other than that i have no other problems with my unit.

I had mine on high for about 5 minutes heating an outside bathroom today...when I walked by, my hand brushed against the front part that the (very hot) heat actually blows out of & it was hot enough that I pulled away ~very~ quickly, but it didn't burn me. When I touched it 30 seconds later to see if it was still hot, it was totally cooled off. It really is the best heater I have owned, but I will be careful not to touch the front part again right after turning it off!

I have had my unit for 6 months. I have never had an issue with the unit heating up. you need to have your unit checked.

I have two of these models and am not having that problem. Perhaps yours is defective. Sorry to hear that if it is. Good Luck.

I agree that the heat feature is either set too low or is not really working. Since we wouldn't use it very much, it isn't an issue for me. My wife hasn't complained either so-----

I've had mine for two years. It's not overused, just twice a week for about 10 minutes each time. It feels normal - warm, not hot. Getting too hot to touch in 5 minutes sounds like an electrical problem?

I too haven't had any issues. There are heat settings that you can adjust. If it doesn't heat up, you may have a defective unit.

It is not overheating. It has an automatic shut off feature that cycles in about 20 minutes to keep it from overheating if one falls asleep while using it. To get past that, just turn the unit off and then turn it right back on again. To get past the noise, listen to soothing music with a headset.

I now like the machine but the settings/temps process is mysterious. In brief, be sure it is in the mode you want; like standard and not eco or fan. I turn it on and up to where it starts, then back it down. I set its reading to four or five degrees higher than I actually intend. This way it cycles on and off at night and keeps the (bed)room at the desired temperature. This advice may not help. In which case persist; just fool with the thing until you win. Or call LeLonghi and good luck with that.

I have no problems at all with mine heating up the room... Let it rest for a while if you have it on constantly (high), 24/7.

I don't think it's normal. That is why I returned mine. Would not run for more than a few minuets before overheating and the safety would shut it off. I know of people who have had success with it but not me and looks like not you either. I'd return it because overheating that quickly could lead to blown fuses or fire.

happened to me too...i contacted the seller and they told me that it usually shuts down if it over-heats and should work after some time...but that never happened to mine so i returned it and got a refund...

Hi there. I bought this device after I used a friends Medlight 630 Pro. I doesn't get hot at all. I put it right. On my skin. On the area affected and the unit sits there for four minutes then beeps off. I then move it to another area and repeat. It never gets hot so no need to worry. It works great, my pain subsides and I feel much better. You will like it.

i have had this very problem after a few wks of use. I'm on my 2nd and i don't know if it's just the queen size having faulty issues. I use heavier blankets and wait 20 mins before bed, but in the first week I couldn't turn it down enough it was scalding. Now i forever have cold feets! =) UPGRADE!
